A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "My brother has some Abdominal trouble." The Prophet ﷺ said to him "Let him drink honey." The man came for the second time and the Prophet ﷺ said to him, 'Let him drink honey." He came for the third time and the Prophet ﷺ said, "Let him drink honey." He returned again and said, "I have done that ' The Prophet ﷺ then said, "Allah has said the truth, but your brother's ʿAbdomen has told a lie. Let him drink honey." So he made him drink honey and he was cured.  

البخاري:٥٦٨٤ – حَدَّثَنَا عَيَّاشُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْمُتَوَكِّلِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ

أَنَّ رَجُلاً أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَخِي يَشْتَكِي بَطْنَهُ فَقَالَ اسْقِهِ عَسَلاً ثُمَّ أَتَى الثَّانِيَةَ فَقَالَ اسْقِهِ عَسَلاً ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ فَقَالَ فَعَلْتُ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ اللَّهُ وَكَذَبَ بَطْنُ أَخِيكَ اسْقِهِ عَسَلاً فَسَقَاهُ فَبَرَأَ

So he gave him some honey to drink, and he said, "I have already given him some, but it only made his condition worse." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah has spoken the truth and the stomach of your brother has lied." Shu'ayb ibn Abdur Rahman disagreed with him in his chain of narration and in the text.
